    * Add your new TRACE_TYPE to {{{libtrace_to_erf_type}}}/{{{erf_type_to_libtrace}}}
   * If your linktype is supported by the Linux kernel:
-   * Add your linktype to linuxnative_get_link_type
+   * Add your linktype to linuxnative_get_link_type.  ARPHRD's are defined in {{{<net/if_arp.h>}}}.  If your linktype is too new to exist in that header, consider having
+{{{
+  #ifndef ARPHRD_foo
+  #define ARPHRD_foo 1337
+  #endif

  1. Add a structure to parse your linktype to {{{libtrace.h}}} with a name "libtrace_''yourlinktype''_t"
  1. Add trace_get_payload_from_''yourlinktype'' to protocols.c, and add code to {{{trace_get_payload_from_link()}}} to understand your linktype.
